“I got sick when I was eight years old. It happened suddenly—no special symptoms except headaches and fatigue, which I managed by sleeping more. Then one morning I felt very ill and was taken to the hospital. The same afternoon, the diagnosis was made: a 7 cm brain tumor—later identified as a stage 4 glioblastoma. A diagnosis still considered incurable today.
As an 8-year-old girl, I didn’t know what was happening, much less that I could die. I knew I had something in my head that they’d remove so things would go back to normal. My biggest worry back then was my hair. Like most girls that age, I dreamt of having hair long enough to reach my knees. But I knew they’d shave my head during surgery.
After the surgery came chemotherapy and radiation, causing my remaining hair to fall out heavily. At some point, my mom and I decided to end the agony and shave the rest off. We both cried in the bathroom—me because of my hair, her because she knew she might lose me.
After the treatments, the tumor returned. A second surgery followed, and then three years of experimental therapy at home. With the help of treatments, bioenergetics, and the unwavering support of my loved ones, I slowly recovered. My hair slowly grew back too, but a scar and a patch of burnt scalp from the radiation meant hair would never grow there again.
I covered the bald spots with hats and scarves throughout elementary school. When my hair got long enough, I tied it in a ponytail to cover the scar. In high school, my problems worsened: poor self-image, low self-esteem, teasing from classmates. My parents and I kept looking for solutions, but failed.
Synthetic wigs were uncomfortable, hot, and unbearably itchy—and they looked fake. Natural wigs weren’t much better in terms of comfort, and they had far too much hair. Hair pieces clipped to my fragile hair felt like someone was constantly pulling. Toupees weren’t satisfying either.
Then we found FI-Potencial. The reviews were positive, so we gave it a try. Three months after my consultation in Kranj, I received my system.
I was amazed. The system perfectly matched my hair. It looks completely natural, and best of all, you forget it’s even on your head. No heat, no itching like with a wig. After so many years, I finally felt "normal" again.
